An apparatus and method of balancing cells in a battery using an isolated power supply and pairs of switches to direct power to cells at a lower state of charge to bring them into balance with cells at a higher state of charge.

A battery diagnosing apparatus includes a charged-state detector configured to detect a charged state of a battery, a charging current controller configured to vary a charging current for the battery when the charged state of the battery corresponds to a predetermined diagnosis charging range, and a battery diagnosing unit configured to analyze a charging profile generated during charging of the battery, thereby determining whether or not the battery is abnormal.

A control device performs a first supply process of controlling a voltage converter to supply power from a solar panel to a high-voltage battery via the voltage converter while setting input-output power of a low-voltage battery to zero on the condition that a supplied power value is determined to be equal to or more than a specified power value. The control device performs a second supply process of controlling the voltage converter to supply power from the solar panel and the low-voltage battery to the high-voltage battery via the voltage converter on the condition that the supplied power value is determined to be less than the specified power value. The control device sets the specified power value based on one or more of a first index value indicating the degree of deterioration of the low-voltage battery and a second index value indicating whether the low-voltage battery is likely to deteriorate.

Systems and methods for charging batteries of electric container handling equipment at container terminals comprising mobile batteries and chargers that can be transported to a location near the container handling equipment. The mobile batteries and chargers are configured for energy storage and capable of being recharged at one or more charging stations. Multiple mobile batteries and chargers can be included in the system and/or methods, and one or more or each mobile battery and charger can be configured to recharge one or more or several pieces of container handling equipment before the mobile battery and charger travels to the charging station to recharge. Included are systems for managing shipping equipment in a container terminal comprising one or more mobile battery and charger configured to deliver at least about 100 KW of power to any equipment configured for loading, unloading, and/or moving shipping containers, such as a shipping container crane.

A starting power supply device capable of reverse charging includes a main control module, a rechargeable battery connected to the main control module, and a battery level detection module connected to the main control module and the rechargeable battery. The battery level detection module is used for detecting a battery level of the rechargeable battery to generate a battery level signal, and sending the battery level signal to the main control module. The main control module is used for obtaining the battery level signal to determine the battery level of the rechargeable battery. Moreover, when the battery level of the rechargeable battery is lower than a preset battery level, the main control module is used for obtaining electrical energy from a car battery to charge the rechargeable battery reversely. By configuring the battery level detection module, the battery level of the rechargeable battery is detected in real time.
